What elements are stored under oil?
sodium lithium Alkali metals are often stored under oil.
Why must sodium be stored under paraffin?
Sodium reacts with moisture, it will eventually turn to sodium hydroxide from moisture in the air. It reacts violently with water.
How is potassium stored?
The pure metal must be stored under oil to protect it from oxygen and water vapor in the air.
Why is oxygen gas usually stored under pressure in metal cylinder?
It can exploded.
Is Sodium Hydroxide Basic?
The easiest way of remembering whether something is a base is by remembering: "A base is a metal oxide, metal hydroxide, or ammonia." Sodium Hydroxide comes under the metal hydroxide category, so yes, it is a base.
Why sodium metal is stored under kerosene?
bcoz sodium is a alkali metal these metals when xposed to air they tarnish rapidly due to the formation of oxides on surface Save
Where can you store sodium metal?
Because sodium is so reactive, it will react with air to form oxides. Therefore, it is stored under oil in order to protect it from oxidation.
What elements are stored under oil?
sodium lithium Alkali metals are often stored under oil.
sodium metal is kept under?
Sodium metal is usually kept under paraffin because of its high reactivity.
Why does sodium need to be stored under paraffin?
so that it do not react with the atmosphere
Which metal is kept under water?
I dont think there is a metal stored under water because they react with water and instead are stored in kerosene or oil. Water often corrodes the metal producing rust so i cant think of any metal that would be stored under water.
Why is sodium preserved in kerosene?
Sodium react vigorously with air, to prevents it's harmfulness it is to be stored under kerosene.
Why is sodium and potassium stored under kerosene oil?
as it reacts with the oxygen in the air
Why must sodium be stored under paraffin?

Is lithium from the periodic table of elements a gas?
Lithium is a metal, it looks silvery and is shiney when freshly cut but will tarnish quickly in air. It is the lightest metal and is normally stored under oil in airtight jars as its very reactive with water.
What metal is stored in oil?
Group 1 metals are stored under oil because they are so reactive, they will react with the oxygen in the air if you leave them unprotected, but will also react with water, therefore they need to be stored in oil.
How is potassium stored?
The pure metal must be stored under oil to protect it from oxygen and water vapor in the air.
